Hi all,

Talented artists have a hard time getting audiences to support their events and
this group is
for them and their supporters.

These are the truly gifted artists that don't have the media and/or the "right"
people behind
them.

Whether it's a writer, an actor, a singer, a painter, photographer, director ...
many of these
artists find that audiences are not there when the work is shown.

Please let them and art lovers know about the group.

Thanks in advance for the support,

Jen

Subject: Re: [harveyshapirocello] Harvey's Thomas Dodd Bow

Hi Amanda,

The one I am selling is the one he used in the
lessons. He had two. The John (or James?) Dodd was the
96 gram one. He used to practice and teach one mine
(Thomas Dodd) but perform with the other one.

I always thought this one was the nicer sounding bow,
but the other one had a great heavy spicatto. It was a
little too heavy for me. This one, (Thomas) might be a
little too soft for some people. Also, the spicatto is
farther out than on most bows since its tip heavy. It
is also longer than other bows. I have some pictures
of it which I can send you if you are interested. I
have been playing my John Dodd mostly and dont like
leaving Harvey's bow in the case backstage. I would
rather have one that is a bit more stiff and cheaper.
(no wisecracks!)

Email me directly (stefankartman@yahoo.com) and I will
reply with pictures. Already forgot your email.

Sincerely,
Stefan

HA! how funny. sort of ;-)

It helped that I was every bit as hard on myself as he was, but of course that
becomes a
double-edged sword doesn't it. I don't think he ever heard me perform except
when Karl
and I were both learning the Elgar Concerto and only one of us was to actually
compete in
the Juilliard concerto competition. Karl and I both knew that he was the one who
had been
chosen, it wasn't a 'secret'. Harvey was shocked that I knew how to perform.
That was
only the first time I really got ticked. How could he know how we played if we
only
played 30 seconds at a time? How could he get a real idea of how to fix a
problem?
Anyhow, he was very very good at what he did, I just felt it lacked a certain
depth and
that I ultimately stayed way too long.

you are totally right!!! But then again, if one cannot
make a perfect statement with the opening of any
piece, then what is the point of the rest of it? Thats
what I always told myself! Yes, Haydn D for me, and
Lalo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Harvey actually saw you
onstage? I am doubtful of that, he so rarely went to
actual concerts in my days with him...in this case,
you are blessed!

oh gosh you scared me Pepe! Good, glad I didn't upset you. I have shed my "thick
skin"
earned over 5 painful years (to me) at Juilliard and try not to, as we say here,
'stick
my foot in my mouth' too often.

I am only now starting to teach, younger students as I am in New Hampshire, at
least a
world away from you, and have discovered sadly that the instruction is not
anywhere near
the level it should be, as close as we are to Boston. I should much prefer to
take
students at a higher level, as I haven't trained as an educator, but one must
start
somewhere especially where I now live. I have gotten to know many of the
cellists in the
area and get a feel for what the music is like here, and the more I know the
more upset I
get that there is so little high quality music going on here.

I think it's funny that Harvey would say his solo was lousy. He probably said
that about
most of his performances. What a perfectionist. I would love to someday figure
out what
exactly it was that he heard in his head! It must have been something amazing!

Regarding the '10 measures of each piece in the cello repertoire' I have to also
laugh,
speaking of perfectionism. I still, to this day, can play all but the first -
not 10, but
4 - measures of the Haydn D Major concerto pretty darn well, but that first 4
measures I
still get psyched out from spending, if I remember correctly, almost 3 months
'screwing
them up' over and over in Harvey's studio until I finally got up the courage to
just move
on to something else and hope that he forgot what I was supposed to be
'learning'.
Unfortunately, I am not able to remember if I learned anything from that
particular
exercise. I am willing to bet that will haunt me for years to come. Does
everybody else
have pieces that they especially remember playing just '10 measures' of?

~Peace starts with a smile~

I do am sure he played the solo, he told me many times, there were 2
days recording and one afternoon for the 3th. movement. Anyway he said
that the solo "were lousy".

I'm not too experienced with the news-group thing - thanks to Joshua
for setting this one up. I certainly see many friends on the list of
posters.
For five years, I spent three evenings a week in Harvey's studio as a
pianist - waiting for you guys to show up to play the first 10 bars of
whatever piece you had. Nowhere else could I have a)learned the first
10 bars of most of the cello repertoire, b)learned to like the smell
of cigar smoke, c)learned to appreciate a teacher who could be so
profane with students, d)learned so much about the physical approach
to playing any instrument (including my own) - at a certain point I
urged at least one of my violin-playing friends to come play for
Harvey, she did and loved it, e)had so much fun learning so much and
getting to know someone of the same generation as my piano teacher
(with whom Harvey had recorded the Rachmaninoff Sonata many many years
earlier). I looked forward to the evenings when no students showed up
and Harvey decided that we would play something (often Rachmaninoff
Sonata); it was also a special pleasure to play with Harvey when he
felt like demonstrating for a student. I have said to various people
over the years that I learned as much from Harvey as from any teacher
I worked with - I know he will be missed by many. It was a privilege
to know him and to work with him and with so many of you.

I apologize Jose, I should not have used your first name so familiarly when I
first
wrote. Here in the States, we do not stand on ceremony and of course you are
welcome to
use my first name. The gentleman I am speaking about is Alan Grishman. He is a
bit older
now, in his seventies, but was at one time the youngest violinist ever invited
to be a
part of the Casals Festival Orchestra. He is has now married a woman in San
Miguel and
lives there happily, but has little chamber music which was his great passion. I
just
thought it best to ask as I know how starved he is to play and I know how well
he plays.

I understand you, for me it was abot the same, I stop visiting him
because it was very hard for me to say "bye,ciao,  see you next time"
He answered "if I am still here".
After that I called him once a week or more but always afraid he was
not there to answer. The day it happens was to strong for me, I was
not able to believe and besides  I did not have any notice from him
until I friend called me to give me the bad new.best regards, Jose

Dear Dorothy, (may I call you this way?)
Yes, it is far away from Xalapa to S Miguel, I was there once with
the manhattan string quartet in 1982. Since that time I never went
back there, anyway I'm going to investigate about him. Is he
mexican? or where is him from?
I'll let you know if I get some news from there. Best regards, Jose

I just wanted to say you, Dorothy, "Thank you" for playing for Mr.
Shapiro, the most great cellist, musician , teacher, and friend.

Subject: [harveyshapirocello] Harvey's Thomas Dodd Bow

Hi Everyone,

I have been saying goodbye to Harvey bit by bit over the past couple
of months. Jeannie and I talk about him often. My students are hearing
about him too (as usual).

Anyway, I finally decided to sell the bow I bought from him while I
was his pupil. Those of you who were with him in the 80's (perhaps
before?) might remember it since he taught and played on the Thomas
Dodd while performing with the John Dodd.

I have a John Dodd as well that he helped me to find which I have
played on ever since. Every time I play a concert, his bow sits in my
case backstage and I am always nervous about it. I would rather have a
lesser bow that is more like my performance bow in feel, in the case.

I plan on putting it with Bein and Fushi soon, but thought I should
give old Harvey students the chance at it first. I have pictures which
I can forward to you if you are interested (I didn't want to clutter
up the website with business).

It has a soft feel, beautiful tone, ringing spicatto if a bit
difficult to manage, and is longer and heavier than a standard cello bow.

B&F just sold a Thomas Dodd to one of my students for $18,500. I plan
to sell for the same. Bought it from Harvey for 15K, but that was many
years ago.

I hope everyone is well.

Sincerely,
Stefan Kartman

I played the Vocalise at the end of my recital a week ago, and gave
the listeners a picture of an oversized Leprechaun striding around my
cello waiving a Cuban cigar and yelling invectives as he strode. Then
I told them that nobody had as beautiful a cello sound nor have I ever
seen his ability to bring a beautiful sound out of a student matched.
I hope I did it justice.

This is like my story from when i was 15,...(slightly
x rated,...Josh said it was a brave post!!)

But, the last class I played in the room before I
graduated, he was ranting and raving a bit,...then
paused, looked at me closely,...and then did his
little giggle that always reminded me of YODA from
Star Wars,...and said "Amanda's the only one I've ever
had who's never cried...and I am gonna make you cry
one day,dammit!!"...to which I replied..."too late!!"
(even though we all know that of course I usually
cried, but only once the door was shut behind me!
Thanks to him, I learnt how to have a strong
backbone,...eve if only outwardly...!!

Hey Nester - nice to "see" you.
It wasn't my ass he was calling fat, but I did hear him say it to
someone.

I also had an interesting thing happen, which was that during my
first semester at Juilliard I became really frustrated with his
verbal abuse and stopped going much for lessons. This was during a
time when he would have us come in every day for a 10 minute lesson.
So I got called into the studio and he abused me some more about not
showing up, at which point I burst into tears and yelled at him that
he could go ahead and kick me out of his studio if he wanted to, but
that I couldn't function with him yelling at me all the time. And
strangely, showing him strength impressed him. He was super nice to
me from that time onwards. Time and again I saw him turn in an
instant from being nasty to someone to being completely sweet to me.
